Mom was named for her father, Luell,
but the doctor put Lee on the birth certificate
instead and she became Lee Luella.

By the 1800's, England conquered Wales (from the book "History of Wales" by James Davies, pages 100-718). Several Welsh clans fleeing Wales in the early 1800's (1805) migrated to New York and Pennsylvania to work in coal mining and farming.
